What Causes Ear Tingling And Jaw Pain?

I am having occasional numbness/ tingling in my right ear as well as an occasional feeling that my ear needs to be popped. This is occurring several times a day for the past couple of weeks. I sometimes grind my teeth at night and have pain in the right jaw joint near the ear. Two weeks ago I had horrible pain from grinding and then the ear problems started.

Dentist,  's  Response
Thanks for using health care Magic.

Read your query.

The pain as you have mentioned could be due the night grinding (referred as Bruxism).

I would advice you to visit your local dentist and get it treated,he would provide you with the night guard to avoid the bruxism.

Hope this was useful.

Thanks and regards.
